JPMorgan offers auto‑callable contingent‑interest notes due 2031
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto-callable, contingent-interest structured notes due May 22, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay quarterly Contingent Interest Payments (at least 3.5375% per quarter, equivalent to 14.15% per annum) if each underlying closes daily above a 70.00% Interest Barrier. The Underlyings are the S&P 500® Index, iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF. The notes are callable beginning August 19, 2026. Pricing is expected on or about May 20, 2026 and settlement on or about May 26, 2026. Estimated secondary-market value at pricing is approximately $970.00 per $1,000 (minimum disclosed estimated value $950.00). The notes expose holders to credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., possible loss of principal if the Least Performing Underlying falls below a 60.00% Trigger Value, limited upside (no participation in underlying appreciation) and constrained liquidity.

Insights
Auto-callable, coupon‑style notes link interest to three individual underlyings; call risk and path‑dependent payoffs dominate outcomes.
The terms show a path‑dependent quarterly coupon: a Contingent Interest Payment only if each Underlying remains ≥70.00% of its Strike Value on every day of the Quarterly Monitoring Period. The notes are automatically called if all Underlyings close ≥Strike Value on a Review Date.
Key dependencies include daily monitoring vs. the Interest Barrier, the scheduled Review Dates starting August 19, 2026, and the final Trigger Value mechanics at maturity. Liquidity is likely limited, and secondary prices may be well below original issue price.
Issuers intend to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons; tax treatment remains uncertain.
The pricing supplement states the intended U.S. federal tax treatment: prepaid forward contracts with Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income. Counsel notes the IRS has solicited comments on such instruments and final regulations could change timing/character of income.
Non‑U.S. withholding is discussed; withholding at 30% may apply to Contingent Interest Payments for Non‑U.S. Holders unless documentation supports a reduced rate. Consult a tax adviser.
